I come from a long line of intollerant people as far as religion goes. Personally, I feel that if the child chooses that form of faith, allow them to explore it in it's entirty. And one thing I will not stand for is anyone talking down on anyone else's religion.
My dad is a Roman Catholic, and my mom is a Baptist. Dad was always warm and welcoming when I was curious about his religion, and mom was completely offended by that. She told me I was going to be a Baptist and that was that, because I was her child, she was picking my religion. She told me I had no say in anything because she knew what god wanted. And that turned me off from her religion entirely.
I have been to many churches, Catholic and Protestant, and have decided that that is not the religion for me. I have become and will stay Agnostic until I find god. When I have kids, I will educate them on religion when they are old enough to understand what I'm saying. (=
And if they choose to be Christian, I will back them 100%. If they choose to be anything else, I will still back them 100%.
I have had many friends of different religions, the majority being Christian. One thing that really annoyed me was one of them would always criticize everyone on their religious points of view. He even told me my dad was wrong for being Catholic because all catholics don't believe in Jesus and are child molesters. This, I'm sure anyone can understand, is the wrong way to talk about someone's religion. He also gave us a two hour lecture on why we are going to hell when we die, and how he doesn't want to accend into heaven with us begging him for help and crying about why we didn't listen to him in the first place.
These are the kinds of people that annoy me when it comes to any religion, please, please, please don't think it's only Christianity that I'm talking about, because I have absolutly no problem with it at all. It is a beautiful religion. (I'm saying that because people tell me I come off anti-Christian, which is in no way the case).
